Schedule TO-I filed on May 28, 2024
File No. 005-50241
Dear Lynn Zhao:
We have reviewed your filing and have the following comments. In some of our
comments, we may ask you to provide us with information so we may better understand your
disclosure.
Please respond to these comments by providing the requested information or advise us as
soon as possible when you will respond. If you do not believe our comments apply to your facts
and circumstances, please tell us why in your response.
After reviewing your response to these comments, we may have additional comments.
Schedule TO-I filed on May 28, 2024
Conditions of the Offer, page 19
1.Refer to the first condition in this section and the term “threatened.” A tender offer may be
conditioned on a variety of events and circumstances provided that they are not within the
direct or indirect control of the offeror. The conditions also must be drafted with sufficient
specificity to allow for objective verification that the conditions have been satisfied. Refer
to Question 101.01 of the Tender Offer Rules and Schedules Compliance and Disclosure
Interpretations (March 17, 2023). Please revise so that the condition is objectively
determinable.
2.You have included a condition that will be triggered by "any general suspension of trading
in, or limitation on prices for, our securities on any national securities exchange or in an
over the-counter market in the United States." Please revise to explain what would be
considered a limitation on prices for securities on any national securities exchange or in
the over-the-counter market in the United States.

3.We note that the fourth sub-bullet refers broadly to "any extraordinary or material adverse
change in U.S. financial markets generally." The broad wording of this offer condition
gives rise to illusory offer concerns under Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and
Regulation 14E thereunder. Please revise to narrow or qualify this condition, or advise.
4.Refer to the following disclosure in the last paragraph of this section: "The conditions to
this Offer are for our benefit. We may assert them in our discretion before the expiration
date regardless of the circumstances giving rise to them." Offer conditions must be
objective and outside the control of the offeror in order to avoid illusory offer concerns
under Regulation 14E. Please revise this disclosure to remove the implication that the
conditions may be triggered at your election.
General terms of new options, page 21
5.Refer to the first full paragraph on page 22 and the statement there that your "statements
in this Offer to Exchange concerning the 2004 Plan and the new options are merely
summaries and do not purport to be complete." While a summary is necessarily a
condensed version of disclosure that appears elsewhere, it should describe the material
terms of the 2004 Plan and the new options. Please modify to avoid characterizing the
disclosure here as incomplete.
We remind you that the filing persons are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of
their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence of action by the staff.
Please direct any questions to Brian Soares at 202-551-3690 or Perry Hindin at 202-551-

General
1. You held your annual meeting on April 29, 2010, but did not file a Form
8-K reporting the results until May 5, 2010. Instruction 1 to Item 5.07 of Form
8-K provides that the four business day period for reporting the event under
Item 5.07 shall begin to run on the day on which the meeting ended. In your
response letter, please provide us with a detailed analysis supporting your
belief that the Form 8-K was timely filed and addressing your eligibility to
use Form S-3. Refer to General Instruction I.A.3(b) of Form S-3.
Response: The Company believes that the Form 8-K reporting the results
of the annual meeting held on April 29, 2010 was timely filed. We refer to
Question 121A.01 of the Staff's Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations
relating to Form 8-K, which indicates that day one of the four-business day
filing period required by Instruction 1 to Item 5.07 of Form 8-K is "the
day after the date on which the shareholder meeting ends." In this case,
the Company's annual meeting ended on Thursday, April 29, 2010, which indicates
that Friday, April 30, 2010 is day one of the filing period and Wednesday,
May 5, 2010 is day four of the filing period. Therefore, we believe the Company's
filing of the Form 8-K reporting the results of the annual meeting on May
5, 2010 should be considered timely, and in compliance with the requirements
under paragraph 3(b) of General Instruction I.A.3 of Form S-3 in order for
the Company to maintain its eligibility to use Form S-3.

resale an indeterminate number of shares of common stock that you may issue
under a conversion formula based on fluctuating market prices; you must register
for resale the maximum number of shares that you think you may issue on conversion,
based on a good-faith estimate and, if the estimate turns out to be insufficient,

in excess of those registered, that it will file a new registration statement
to register such additional shares for resale.

Risk Factors
'The global economic financial crisis may continue to have an impact..."
page 3
1. The paragraph
under this heading states in general terms that you may have difficulty maintaining
compliance with your existing bank covenants in order to retain your line
of credit. It appears that the recent covenant defaults and the potential
risks to investors associated with non-compliance should be presented in a
prominently placed, separately captioned risk factor. Such a separately captioned
risk factor should alert stockholders to your recent failures to maintain
the minimum liquidity based upon the "adjusted quick ratio" covenant
for the months of April and May. Your risk factors should provide specific,
quantitative information that relates to the uncertainties and conditions
that present the risks to investors that you identify. To the extent that
a materially complete discussion of recent covenant defaults and related matters
would require text that is too extensive for the risk factors section, you
should provide the detailed information in the body of the prospectus in a
section that is cross-referenced in the separately caption risk factor.
Response: In
response to the Staff's comment, the Company will include the new risk factor
below in the Amendment as the second risk factor in the Registration Statement.
If we do not maintain compliance with the financial covenants in our
bank line, which we are dependent upon as a source of cash for our operations,
we may lose our ability to draw upon it and the bank may accelerate our
obligation to repay the amounts due.
We are dependent upon our bank line under loan agreements with Silicon
Valley Bank as a source of cash to fund our operations. The availability
of the bank line is conditioned upon our complying with the terms of the
bank line agreements, including meeting certain financial covenants. We
failed to meet our financial covenants at the end of April, May and June
2009. In each case, we obtained a waiver from the bank of the covenant default.
Nonetheless, should we fail to comply with any bank line covenant in the
future, the bank may choose not to grant a further waiver nor to continue
to make available the bank line. Should the bank line become unavailable,
we may not be able to find alternative sources of financing, and we may
not be able to pay our liabilities and expenses when due, which could result
in the suspension of some or all of our current operations. It could also
adversely affect the willingness of our vendors and employees to continue
to work with us.

On July 7, 2009, we amended our loan agreements with Silicon Valley Bank
in order to avoid defaults under the terms of these agreements due to our
non-compliance with a covenant to maintain minimum liquidity based on an
"adjusted quick ratio." The amendments provide for the waiver
of our non-compliance with the adjusted quick ratio covenant for the months
of April, May and June 2009, and replace this covenant with new covenants
that require us, commencing June 1, 2009: (i) to maintain at all times unrestricted
cash and cash equivalents at the bank of not less than $1,000,000; and (ii)
achieve minimum revenue of (a) $4,068,000 for the quarter ended June 30,
2009, (b) $4,500,000 for the quarter ending September 30, 2009, and (c)
$5,355,000 for the quarter ending December 31, 2009 and each quarter thereafter.
Our failure to meet any of these financial covenants under the loan agreements
would constitute an event of default, and upon any such event of default,
the bank may, among its remedies, declare all obligations under the loan
agreements immediately due and payable. As of June 30, 2009, we had $1,201,345
outstanding under the loan agreements, and were in compliance with the minimum
revenue covenant for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.
As of June 30, 2009, we had $1,683,841 of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents
at the bank. Our ability to maintain a cash balance at the required minimum
level for compliance with the financial covenant is dependent on a number
of factors, including our ability to (i) manage payment terms with our customers
and suppliers, (ii) manage our inventory levels, (iii) achieve sufficient
revenues, and (iv) manage our expenses. We can provide no assurance that
we will be able to continue to meet the requirements under any of the financial
covenants under the loan agreements.
